Life is short, make it count. Liforme is a company with boundless ambition, and we fundamentally believe that we can change the World significantly through our business. We are proud to be B Corp Certified.

We are a dynamic privately owned and digitally native company in the Yoga and Wellness Sector with sales in over 185 countries Worldwide, and with many exciting things in the pipeline.

We reinvented the Yoga mat back in 2008 and have since grown to become a leading brand in the Yoga and wellness industry, loved and trusted for our ground-breaking innovations and our commitment to environmental sustainability and using our business to promote social justice in the World. We have a market-leading customer service record and average 4.9* product and service reviews globally – we do not like to do things by halves

Our mission is to support and encourage the practice of Yoga and physical and mental wellbeing with our original, ground-breaking and truly useful products; to bring the values of Yoga to the Yoga business and beyond; and to unite a global community of people around our common goal to 'Live For More' through the products we produce and sell, how we run our business and how we Give Back to the World through it.

Headquartered in central London and now working in a hybrid remote + office structure (currently Wednesday/Thursday at our office in the heart of Camden Town, a few minutes from Camden Town tube), we are continuing to grow and strengthen our team with the addition of further like-minded, bright and ambitious people.
